I think that's about it... but that's just one system, I'm currently on a 400mhz PII with a 17" monitor, and also have a 633 mhz celeron with two 14" monitors(haven't decided what to do with that one yet).

and, yes, it has it's advantages making your own pc. but it also has it's disadvantages of always wanting to upgrade it, and of course, always getting asked by other people: "Can you fix my computer?". it can really drive a man nuts! that's why I'm getting thinkgeek's "No, I will not fix your computer" t-shirt.

might dual boot with SUSE, might not. no idea right now, i'll wait to get it running before getting fancy-pants.

the system i'm on right now is:
Celeron 466 (stole it out of my girlfriends dead comp last nite - old CPU was a 433)
256mb pc100
15GB maxtor (going to the new comp)
HP 16x burner (same)
2x NIC's for internet sharing with my laptop

it's getting stripped and given to my girlfriend because her computer just died. not sure how much longer this one's gonna live though, it's getting a bunch of weird voltage readings in SANDRA. like, my 3.3v is reading .02v, but that can't be right - i just replaced the PS with a known good one. also reading 149* F board temp. also incorrect.
